BURGLARY DEFENSE ATTORNEY

Burglary is defined in Ohio as a trespass into an occupied structure with purpose to commit a criminal offense. Columbus criminal lawyer Brandon Shroy defends against all types of burglary. Burglary is similar to breaking and entering, but the trespass in a burglary is typically a home whereas breaking and entering involves trespass into an unoccupied structure, such as a business. If it is alleged that the perpetrator intended to inflict or threaten harm to an occupant, it is filed as aggravated burglary, commonly referred to as a home invasion.

Burglaries range under Ohio Law from a felony of the fifth degree to a felony of the first degree and carry penalties ranging from probation to eleven years in prison upon a finding of guilt. Some burglaries, such as aggravated burglary, are classified as violent crimes and cannot be sealed from your record.

Burglary allegations lead to life-altering consequences and demand immediate attention to prevent incarceration, the inability to own or possess a firearm, and the stigma that follows a serious felony conviction. With such a large range of potential outcomes, it is crucial to have an attorney who will fight to protect your livelihood.
